Lebanese authorities have arrested in Beirut an opponent of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rule, a media report said on Wednesday.

“The Criminal Investigations Department arrested in Beirut a Turkish anti-Erdogan dissident who is wanted by the Turkish authorities on multiple arrest warrants,” LBCI television reported.

Some 20,000 people have been arrested since the July 15 coup attempt and 70,000 civil servants fired as Erdogan purges those he says have links to Fethullah Gulen, the U.S.-based Muslim preacher Ankara blames for the failed putsch.
